Ingredients
COOKIES & CREAM CHAMPAGNE CUPCAKES
- 1 Quest Cookies and Cream Bar
- 2 tbsp almond milk
- ⅓ cup Champagne (or Brut or Prosecco)
- ¼ cup coconut oil, melted
- ⅓ cup zero calorie sweetener
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups almond flour, sifted
- ¼ cup oat flour
- 1 tsp baking power
- ½ tsp baking soda
- Pinch sea salt
Frosting:
Method
- Preheat the oven to 350 F and prepare a muffin pan with 10 liners.
- Cut the bar into small pieces and place them into a small bowl with the almond milk.
- Microwave for 30 seconds, stir and microwave for an additional 15-30 seconds. Stir until mostly smooth (There will be some bits that don’t melt).
- Add the melted bar, champagne, oil, sweetener, eggs, and vanilla to a standalone mixer or large mixing bowl.
- Mix using the whisk attachment or a handheld mixer until everything is well blended.
- In another bowl, stir together the flours, baking powder, baking soda and salt and then add to the mixing bowl. Mix until no dry spots remain.
- Use a cookie scooper to distribute the batter between the cupcake liners.
- Bake the cupcakes for 10-14 minutes and a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool.
- Once cooled, add the ricotta and heavy cream to a mixing bowl and mix using a handheld mixer.
- Add in the protein and vanilla and mix until combined.
- Transfer to a piping bag and pipe the frosting onto the cupcakes.
- Top with gold sprinkle stars if desired.
